As everyone knows, there is absolutely no market for, nor collectors of, meteors or meteoroids. What we collect and hunt absolutely has to have, preferably, fusion crust and some shock and weathering in order to assign grades for those attributes. Picking these rocks from space before they have fallen to earth is sort of like picking the buds off flowers, or picking green tomatoes, or some such. It just ain't right! Having actual meteors to study and collect would throw our whole system out of whack! Just think of the turmoil that would be caused just trying to name one of the rascals...could be worse than some of the NWA's. Ex: Outer Space, Left of Saturn in August #9 ??? DOWN WITH METEOR COLLECTING!!! ;-) Jerry Wallace ****************** Matt Morgan wrote: > But they are not meteorites yet... > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Frank Carrillo wrote: Well, if I could go ANYWHERE to collect, I'd go to the asteroid belt!
